(Dagbladet): “New and more modern methods of analysis.” It was the words Deputy Police Kjell Johan Abrahamsen in Vestfold Police spent on police news conference Friday to describe the analysis of the new DNA evidence they believe connects the accused 38-year-old Kristin Juel Johannessen 1999.
DNA track should have been found at Christina nail, and were also analyzed in 2006. When unable Public Health (FHI) to determine who the DNA track belonged.
It could they have done already then, turn including former police detective at Larvik police and author Jørn Lier Horst fixed.
In the TV2 news channel today commends Kristin father Roar Juel Johannesen the help the family has received from Lier Horst, even after he left the police.
– toggling Truth and reluctance by FHI has long slowed efforts to combat crime in Norway and made us left behind in the forensic field. Although Kristin case was not resolved in 2000, it could have been resolved much earlier, said the former police detective told Dagbladet.
– Did not have the technology
in 2006, when FHI analyzed the same DNA evidence that they have now established ties the 38-year-old murder of the 12 year old girl, had other laboratories both in Norway and abroad the technology to be able to do the same.
He is supported by CEO of DNA laboratories Gena in Stavanger, Ragne Kristin Farmen.
The Farm tells Dagbladet that including their laboratory technology had already in 2006 to get a full DNA profile which police maintains that his main evidence against 38-year-old.
– We has always said that when new technology comes with better performance, you can not spend as much time FHI has spent adapt, says Farmen Dagbladet.
Have been criticized earlier
In 2012, criticized The farm and Lier Horst together FHI for “dragging their feet technologically speaking,” the magazine Police Forum. But after a long career in the police Lier Horst aware that things take time in the agency.
– I’m used to that technological development is late. There is a heavy overgrown agency that uses technology too late, says Lier Horst.
Now, however, the technological lead among others Gena had at FHI, has been sealed, according to The Farm in the company. NIPH technological leaps were of NCIS in 2013 argued in a circular that went to Økokrim, PST, the Governor of Svalbard and all the country’s police chiefs. NCIS asked them to submit DNA material again for re-analysis in severe cases.
Call criticism unwarranted
Bente Mevåg, Director at FHI believes criticism from Lier Horst and farm is unjustified and unreasonable, and specifies that DNA analysis is a “very complex” process.
– We have been working on an equal footing with other European laboratories, followed developments in the same way and at the same pace as in other European countries . It is important to emphasize that we are working according to the same quality requirements and standards as the rest of Europe does. We conduct quality assurance tests and perform on an equal footing with other European centers of excellence, adding Mevåg to.
– But could the outcome of their DNA analysis of the track in Kristin case in 2006 was equal outcome you came to this year?
– It is a hypothetical question, but it is possible that the outcome could have been the same, and possible that there had not been the same.
was remanded
Friday was the murder accused 38-year-old in custody for four weeks with letters and visitation. At the press conference later it became clear that the DNA sample police took the man to the baseline, they took in May when they raided his apartment in connection with a minor drug case.
